AOL Adds SmartBox (aka Query Suggestions) to iPhone Mobile Search

AOL is adding query suggestions to its mobile search for the iPhone and iPod touch. Dubbed SmartBox, it's designed to aid searches on mobile phones since it is a pain to type on mobile phones. (Well, it is!)

Writing on the AOL search blog, Farhon Memon says, "By combining the functionality of query auto-complete and related searches all in one place, we've maximized the screen space of the iPhone and hopefully made AOL Mobile Search easier for you to use."
